"I would rather allow college students to gather produce instead of them being drawn into the Web porn industry to get through their education..
The "Summer Vacation" was originally implemented to allow school students free to work on agriculture.. Seems it would be a better deal.. all around.. and help with college costs and walk around money. Schools could be ajourned during picking time for that exact purpose.?"

As nice as that sounds. I'm not really convinced that you'd find a lot of willing college students who would rather live on their parents dime or work at a local air conditioned restaurant or theater actually wanting a job like fruit picking.

Convince me that kids from moderate income families would want to go pick fruit from a a sunny field when they could be working at a retail store, restaurant, or theater instead?

Perhaps, it is the section of the Country that wouldn't do this.. Since my granddaughter worked through the Holiday season lugging incoming merchandise in a K-Mart.. (heavy sweaty work..).. I guess she, (Junior in High School and a College bound A+ student) is not typical of the average child, you say. (I always have believed that , thanks for the confirmation of my opinion +++).
